Today at Conant Brook Dam

The beaver was swimming too far away to hear it breathing, but I did have the pleasure of watching a Great Blue Heron standing mostly still for several minutes, then take flight across the pond where the beaver dam is and land in another grassy clump at the far side of the wetlands. Nice.

I was particularly pleased that neither I or Milo seem to have startled it or otherwise prompted its flight. Something over there caught its attention and it appeared to be going over for a closer look. Dinner, perhaps.
